Fixed compensation
Do not assume it is automatically due. The cause, applicable passenger-rights regime and the airline's response all matter.

AirStatus's current dashboard lists SFO among active US airport disruptions/delays in its FAA-sourced monitoring set.
Operational conditions can change quickly. Check the airline and airport for live status before travelling.
Compensation is only one part of your rights
US passenger protections differ from EU261 and UK261, and an airport-wide delay indicator does not establish a fixed cash-compensation entitlement.
Refund or rerouting
A cancellation can create travel-remedy rights even where an extraordinary circumstance prevents fixed compensation.
Care and expenses
Where the applicable rules provide a duty of care, reasonable meals, accommodation or transport can remain separate from compensation.
What to do now
Confirm the individual flight with the operating airline and keep cancellation, delay, rebooking or refund communications if materially affected.
Check the facts of your flight
AeroDue separates the cause, itinerary and operating airline so passengers do not confuse an airport-wide incident with an automatic compensation result.
